Crystal Blue Persuasion!
Next thing you know, someone will see Donald Trump’s profile in a piece of banded amber agate.

Crack Open Pretty sure he would have used a wet saw, not a hammer.

“Oh-oh-oh! Me think that rock look like me!”

Either these types of rocks are opened in a certain way or it is also amazing that the rock was cut exactly where it needed to be to get that image.

What happens if you shove an actual cookie into the agate?

The one on the right looks more like Elmo than Cookie.

This happens a lot: agate nodules often have funny or human-like patterns inside. The agate was cut with a diamond saw like the one I use for lapidary work. The orientation of the cut was a lucky accident. I have an entire image file of agates with faces or other unusual patterns. While this stone shows an uncanny resemblance to the Cookie Monster interesting patterns occur frequently.
